Deflecting Assault Method</b>
<b>Cost: 3 motes Duration: Instant Type: Simple Min Thrown: 4 Min Essence: 3 Prereqs: Friend’s Rescue Technique
A Solar with this Charm can use a thrown weapon to not only deflect and incoming attack, but to repay the favor. Guided by the Solar’s Essence, the weapon bounces off the attacking weapon, deflecting its blow, and rebounds to strike the attacker. Roll Dexterity + Thrown at Difficulty 2. For each success, remove one of the attacker’s successes. If any successes remain, they are applied as the accuracy roll for the attack. Damage is determined normally.
Betraying Weapon Parry </b>
<b>Cost: 4 motes Duration: Instant Type: Simple Min Thrown: 5 Min Essence: 4 Prereqs: Deflecting Assault Method
The defense offered by this Charm is doubly lethal, for it turns not only the parrying weapon against the attacker, but the blade parried as well. Roll Dexterity + Thrown at Difficulty 2. Parry the attack as normal. Successes gained beyond those needed to completely parry are the accuracy pool of the two weapons. Roll the attack and damage normally.

Hi! I wonder about the wording in the Shield of Flying Steel charm. Does it sacrifice an ordinary parry, like Dipping Swalloe Defense, or is this a third line of defense? Compare Vengeful Gust Counterattack, where either dodge or parry is sacrificed. The reason why this is important is balance. Is is unbalancing to have three active defense pools? - Clebo
